Yeah the angle doesn't look as steep as I was leaning because of the helmet mount and the way I keep my head angled through corners. I'll just have to lean a bit more and keep the bike a bit more upright.

Yeah the guards hit right after the peg feelers. In the vid you can hear the peg feeler start to scrape and then bam the crash bars. Road was dry not oily tires are still good only a couple thousand miles on them. The crash bars did save the engine and the rest of the bike but at the trade-off of them hitting very soon after the peg feelers.
I have some pictures closer of the damage I'll drop on imgur and Link in a reply here in a minute.
